  My Explanation of God.

  by LAWHFol in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am a theist & this is my version of god.. instead of using the term god, i'll use "unseen presence".. this unseen presence, is perfect in every way.

  this presence is so perfect it can seem a bit boring.this perfection can be seen in the laws of science, for example gravity.. it does not sometimes work, depending on the mood of some one in the sky, it always works, perfectly.

  gravity does not get angry and decide to stop working, and cause the death of innumerable living beings, it just works, through thick or thin, it is reliable.. what allows this unseen presence to remain perfect, is the fact that it does not act based on emotion, or strategy or regret.. it acts based on law, mathematical law.. this unseen presence is not partial to jews or muslims or jw's it is completely impartial at all times, to everything that exists.

  "A look at the 4 ways Americans view God" By Dan Harris

  28% believe in an "authoritative God.

  22% mostly evangelic women, they characterize the almighty as a "benevolent God"

  who is thoroughly involved in their lives but is loving, not stern.

  Third group believe in a "critical God", who is removed from daily events but will

  render judgment in the after life.

  The fourth group, view God as a "distant God' who set the universe in motion, but

  then disengaged. These tend to be higher educated, more "spiritual people."

  if you actually read the stories, satan doesn't do much other than to tempt people.

  into disobeying the dictates of god, who acts like a heavenly dictator with borderline.

  I don't get it, these young men action are the same as the God of the OT,

  maybe not as brutal as the God of the OT but none the less insane.

  You would think people would examine the Bible to see, where does all this anger

  come from. How can they say, this is done in the name of God.

  ISIS are called a terrorist group, what the hell do you call God's chosen people in the OT.

  personality disorder. God (of the Bible), by contrast, professes his undying love, but

  then commands his minions to commit brutal atrocities (like ISIS) when he isn't up

  for it himself. Some of the stories are so bad even Hollywood, with it's passion for

  violence, won't touch them.

  Hypothetical Question...

  by JW_Rogue in

  i was just thinking that the org has said lots of outrageous things over it's history and most jws just continue onward without a second thought.

  so my question is what do you think would have to be said from the platform or wt to get people to get up and walk out immediately?

  is it even possible?

  After watching the documentary on Warren Jeffs there are some folks that will never

  walk. The guy admitted he was not a prophet, a lier and and fake. So what did his followers

  say, "it wasn't him that said those things on camera. He told his faithful, Satan made him say those things.

  WTH!!

  When I left in 1987 there were four KH in my area, today there are still four but

  there have been an increase from JW's from Central America. The strange thing

  about this, no new KH. Pasadena Calif. area....Yes merging KH.
